Photographer’s Note

This picture was taken on Bali, one year after the bomb that killed 203 people.
There were two monuments, the official one across the street and this personal one. I could not stand here too long, and still cannot look at the picture for too long, realizing what a terrible thing has happened, and especially the innocence of those who where killed. So I hope this will help us to realize that it is in us to have the best possible future.

please no points

* re-post jan. 2008*
I re-posted this photo (improved sharpness etc.), that is still difficult for me to look at. I hope that the families have moved on, and that the memories of the loved ones are kept alive. I also added some of the photos of the same day in Kuta in the workshop area.

Hi David,
Let me join you in praying for peace for the departed souls!!!Shots like these really give a shock....
Let their souls rest in peace and their families find reasons to be happy...

We are living in a very fragile world, it's good to remind this sometimes.
No points, as you said.

Hi David,
An impressive memorial well presented wit nice compo and framing with this little bir\t of sunset sky and silhouette on top... Colors and sharpness are fine.
A friend of mine was imprisonned in Bali, and stayed with Amrozi and another one there in the same cell at one point!
